Validation of Neurokeeper's Algorithm on Patients Undergoing Carotid Endarterectomy

July 17, 2013 updated by: Neurokeeper Technologies

The primary objective of the study is to validate an EEG base algorithm system to detect and monitor changes in cerebral electrophysiological parameters as compared to clinical evaluation in patients undergoing Carotid Endarterectomy.

The secondary objectives is measure time from ICA clamping to algorithm asymmetry detection, time from clinical deterioration to algorithm asymmetry detection Thi study is a prospective, open label, single arm, self control, single center study.

This study will be conducted in 50 subjects according to the inclusions/exclusions criteria.
